Are Not More Fines Necessarily

The Governor may have an opportunity
soon to investigate other charges against
the lessees of the convicts. The MORNING
NEWS and other journals of the State have
several times lately called attention to the
number of convicts who escape from the
camps, and to the Indifference which the
lessees appear to show with respect to their
capture.
1t is not improbable that the Governor
will be asked to make searching inquiry
into the circumstances of the escape from
the camp near Augusta of Walsh, life
convict, who was sent to the penitentiary
from this county. Indeed, the Governor
would not be doing any more than his duty
if he were to order an investigation of the
Walsh case without any charges being pre-
ferred The fact of the escape has been
brought to his attention, and he would add
new laurels to those which he gained when
he imposed fines amounting to $1,000 upon
two convict companies for failure to COM
ply with their contracts with the State
There is no desire to prosecute the lessees of
the convicts, but there is a growing de-
termination that they shall live up to their
contracts and obey faithfully the laws
under which they hold the convicts.
That the bosses are apparently Indifferent
about securing the return of escaped con-
victs except where it is profitable for
them to do so, is shown by the fol-
lowing facts: Some days ago Constable
Wetherhorn, of this city, arrested and
lodged in Jail an escaped convict His name
is Bragg Walker, and he was sent to the
penitentiary from Warren county, for thir-
teen years. On Aug. IS, 1886, he escaped
from the convict camp near Augusta, after
he had been there only a few months. I'm
mediately after his capture Cons table
Wetherhorn telegraphed the fact to the
convict lessees and to the keeper of the
penitentiary Up to the present time he
has received no acknowledgement of the re-
ceipt of his messages 1t can hardly be pos
sible that they were not received. If they
were received, why have they not been
answered! Is the convict not wanted by
the lessees? Is Constable Wetherhorn to
release the convict or are the county au-
thorities to understand that this county is to
be at the expense of keeping him until the
lessees get ready to send for him? Certainly
some explanation is needed, and that, too,
very soon. Constable Wetherhorn says
that he has information of the whereabouts
of several escaped convicts, but that there
is no use arresting them, as nobody seems
to care whether they are in prison or not.
Is not this pretty state of affairs?

New England Hospitality.
From a Boston Letter.

shall never again say that Massachusetts
people are not hospitable A day or two ago
was driving along country road, just outside
of Boston, and CHANGED to stop at a farm house
to inquire my way. An old woman came to
the door, and, having given me the information
l desired pc itely asked me in to have, so she
expressed it, "a drink and a rock" By a
''drink'' rather supposed she meant glass of
milk The ''rock" was luxury the nature of
which was beyond imagining. Satisfied, how
ever, that it was something inviting | ac-
cepted the offer with thanks, and, having tied
my horse, went inside. My hostess thereupon
requested me to be seated in her best rocking
chair and poured me out a glass of water
''Now." she said, you can have a drink and a
rock, and rest yourself as long as you likel''
Certainly this is the most inexpensive form of
entertainment have ever heard of. 1t beats
the O'Clock tea all hollow.

Secretary Bayard's ailing Health.

washington Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph.
Secretary Bayard shows the wear and tear of
official life very perceptibly. He had the APP
pearance of being one of the younger Senators
when he accepted the Secretaryship of State;
now he looks like an old man. Domestic grief
has had much to do with this change, of course,
but the various worries of his present office
much more. The Kelley trouble, the Jackson
Sedgwick- Cutting episode, and, above all, the
Canadian and Behring Sea fisheries compiled
tions, have tended to perplex his formerly Sc
rene mind and aciduate his temper. He has
become very brusque, even toward his best
friends. People avoid the State Department
now as much as they can; even the hardened
cheek of the chronic interviewer turns pale on
approaching the Secretary. On occasion he
resumes his former self. For instance his adj
dress of welcome to the International Medical
Association here last summer was most charm
ing thing, worthy of Oliver Wendell Holmes,
and delivered with mixture of grace dignity
and good nature delightful to witness. Almost
always the first thing any one says when Bay
ards name comes up for discussion is, what
pity it was for him to leave the Senator

"Your Son George Is In That Tiger"
From HOLtdire

The son of a London merchant started six
months ago to find a long-lost uncle in India
When he had been gone for some time, letter
came saying that he had found the missing rel
alive, who had most kindly received him A
few weeks later came missive from the uncle
himself, announcing the premature death of his
nephew, and adding that he would have the
body sent home to England by the next mail,
So the next Indian steamer was met on its
arrival in London, and on board sure enough
was an enormous case, which was addressed to
the Borrowing parents. Imagine their disgust
and surprise on opening the case, to find that it
contained only the body of a splendid Bengal
tiger. The father at once cabled to the uncle,
saying:
You have been deceived the corpse of our
son has not been sent. The case sent by you
contained only tiger"
A few hours later the following answer was
received:
There has been no mistake. There is tiger
in the box, know, and your poor son George is
in that tiger"

Mayor Hewitt, who, it is well known,
is anxious to receive the Democratic
nomination for President next year, is of
the opinion that President Cleveland has
already won the race. According to the
New York Times, Friends of Mr. Hewitt
say that he has believed himself to be in the
direct line of the Presidential succession
until now. He looked upon his election as
Mayor as having saved New York from
Henry Georgeisn, and the reduction of the
Labor vote this fall as implying a further
Endorsement of his course, and expected
with some confidence, until the Cleveland
boom overlook him, that in gratitude for
these services New York would present his
name to the national convention. Upon
authority of prominent New Yorker and
friend of Hewitt, it is stated
as fact that the President
ON reconsideration, telegraphed ex-Mayor
Cooper not to publish the text of his letter
indorsing Mr.. Hewitt's manifesto. When
the dispatch was received Mr.. Cooper and
Mayor Hewitt were dining together. A re-
ply was telegraphed to the White House
that the letter was deemed SO important it
had already been given to the press"
